Welsummer girl?? pleeease??

Hi, I'd really value some help here.. My family is new to chickens ( and BYC) but we've kinda fallen in love with our baby flock. One of them is Peri Peri, a little welsummer sold as a girl. She's 5 weeks old and grew her feathers in the way I thought a girl would, and is super friendly - loves jumping on our lap for a cuddle. But she has a very developed comb and I think it's pretty bright pink for a girl... She's a small, fiesty, loveable little chook and my girls will be devastated if she's a he and we have to get rid of well...him, but we can't keep any roosters!! What do you think???

It might be a hen but with an oddly huge comb for it's age. You can see in the pic I borrowed the adult coloring of Welsummers and yours seems to match the female coloring really well.
Wait a little bit longer until its hackles(neck feathers) and saddle(feathers right before the tail that fall downward like a saddle on a horse) feathers start coming in then you can for sure tell it's gender.
By the way, The sleeping chick is so cute!

Aww I'm sorry your girls will be upset
but nurse_turtle thick legs don't mean anything. I had a black sexlink hen that was feathering out just like a hen but had enormous feet almost as big as my Orpington Pullet's legs but it turned out to be a normal sized hen

The hackles and saddle feathers usually come in when the adult feathers come in. They come in faster on roos though.

I had two faverolle chicks that were overwhelmingly voted as roos because of the dark feathers coming in on the breast that are both happily laying eggs now. That said, I have 6 wellsummer hens and they did not have that much comb at 5 weeks and the breast feathers were that lighter salmon color... I would compare yours side by side and see if this one has a darker breast feathers. I also think that as a chick the females usually have a really well defined eye line and distinct "V" on the top of the head. I am far from expert though, so I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

thats a cockerel just because it's current feathers are a hens doesnt mean anything those feathers will change as he gets older and gets his adult feathers. on top of the comb you have those deep red feathers thats indacative of a cockerel and yes i can see that color is even on the wings
